On the first of December, I finally decided to stop teaching. Reason to this is because I have to take care of my health.
When I got sick again, I went to my doctor and she explained to me that if I keep coughing I also put pressure on my baby and then… during my previous ultrasound, I saw that whenever I cough, the baby budges and because my poor baby is too tiny, his/her whole body jerks every time I cough. I really felt like a bad mom when I saw that. Poor baby, he/she has to take mom’s sickness too.
So it became clear to me. Nothing is worth the risk and especially not a job which I am not so happy with anyway so I quit. But my head teacher asked me to keep one class—the one which is near my place. And because I am not a heartless b**** (I know it came as a shock to her), I took it because first, the class is just a 5-minutes-drive from my place and the kids are a bit older so there’s not a lot of action there.
I told my head teacher that I will keep this class until she finds someone to take over. I don’t plan to keep this class until the very end of my pregnancy.
I decided to stay home and avoid the physical stress that comes with teaching. I decided to go back to freelance writing and blogging. It’s a much more relaxed job. I know that I will probably earn much less compared to teaching but I’ll be doing myself and my baby a huge favor.
And because I set myself to do blogging full-time, I created this blog today. All the previous entries were only written today. I kept a handwritten pregnancy notebook so I was able to backtrack. Now, I can forget about the notebook and just focus on this blog.
